TIFU by writing a review about how lost I felt during my guitar private lessons

I've been taking guitar lessons, today was my last lesson and through out the lessons I didn't feel like I've learnt much, the teacher was so nice and friendly but he used to give me random techniques and beats every lesson, and he gave me a book that I thought we would follow, but we barely did, sometimes he used to forget he gave this lesson before and give me the same lesson multiple times but adding some new techniques and beats and as always I didnt feel like I've learnt much, the lessons were kinda a mess, very random, I used to learn way more when I was self-learning. Although my teacher was so friendly and nice (a bit sexist sometimes but that doesnt matter), I never told him how I was feeling lost taking these lessons, I never said anything I acted like I'm learning and moved on every lesson.

Today, when I was in the bus after I finished my last lesson I thought that I have to write a review that describes my experience and everything so I gave them 3 stars and I wrote: "Teachers and people there are so nice and friendly but I felt kinda lost and confused sometimes, the teacher gave me random techniques and beats some exercises but I felt like he sometimes doesn't recognize who I was and what was the last lesson so it was kinda a mess, but it wasn't a bad experience learnt some things but not what I was expecting"

30 mins later one of the teachers called my father (because that's the only number they have), and he said they wish I told them about these things while taking the course and they are upset because that may ruin their reputation and I can take my money back if I felt like they were useless.

I felt so bad after that I felt like a coward because they are right I should've told them about everything from the beginning, I deleted the review and I called them back and I said I was sorry and now I feel like an asshole.

TL;DR: I wrote a bad review about the music centre I used to learn at, and they called me and made me feel like an asshole and a coward because I havent mentioned any of the things I wrote in the review irl, and I think they're right.

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
